EDINBURG WASHED AWAY
Santa Maria in Danger-Farms
Ruined.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Sept. est is
reported that great distress prevails
in the upper country from the high
water of the upper Rio Grande river.
An old timer here for fifty years re-
ports that there are entire farms un-
der water, and families residing near
the river have been washed out and
have lost all they had, and that
great number of these families have
lost their entire crops reaped during
the past season, and that their
destitute circumstances are pitt
ful indeed. The river has
flooded its banks for miles around. In
fact, it looks like huge ocean, and is
still rising at Brownsville. Edinburg,
Texas, situated on the Rio Grande
about sixty miles above Brownsville,
has been washed from the face of the
earth, and at Santa Maria it is said
that the water is gradually making its
way to destroy that place. AT this writ
ing the water is but fifteen feet from
the main buildings there. Cattle have
been moved back to higher attitudes.
The condition is due to the storms of
Sept. q. The condition of all those
poor families on both banks of the
river calls for humanity to give them
assistance, that they may not have to
suffer from the pangs of hunger during
the coming winter.

Liquor Licenses.

Friday is the 30th and last day of
September, and the end of quarter ;
and with this quarter expires eighteen
liquor licenses. These eighteen licen-
ses if renewed at all, must be under
the new law which requires
a $4,000 bond to keep an orderly house
under the strict law which describes
what must be an orderly house, with
out screens, women, boys, etc. The
new license is $400 for State and
county and $3.50 for the city. There
is a good deal of public curiosity to
see how these eighteen liquor dealers
will come out-if they can give the
bond, etc.

Defeat for the Knights.

HAvERHTLL, Mass, Sept 29-[Spe-
cial THE contest between Knights
of Labor and the free shops" in the
manufacture of boots and shoes is
rapidly verging on defeat for the
Knights, as there are large number
of non-union stitchers and lasters in
town and dull business is coming on.
This will necessitate the employing of
fewer men and the shops will refuse to
take back the strikers. In the free
shops of Sweet and Bond production
is moving on successfully with no in
dications of trouble.

The Anarchists.
[For the Herald.l

Workingmen of America-Friends
We are here living in most glorious
country-the land Of the free, the
noble and brave; in land whose soil
has been consecrated to freedom by
the blood shed by martyrs in its
cause; and now we live in a land
whose laws are the purest and best the
sun shines upon in this world-where
there is no one to make men afraid
and where we can all worship the
Creator according TO the dictates OF
our own conscience. This country
fought pobly to free herself from the
tyranny of the mother land, and
afterward, by patieLt toll and perse-
verance, built up this grand Republic
the finest and best the world ever
saw; where industry has been re-
warded and the people governed with
impartial and just laws as near as the
vagaries of human impartiality can
make them. To maintain this honor
able and grand Republic we went
through the horrors of civil war, in
which justice triumphed. We are
now just recovering from the effects
of rebellion that was wrong from
the word go; and now we have buried
the bloody shirt, and peace and plenty
are all over the land. Then up came
a band of anarchists on Chicago, way
ing the blood-red flag of communism,
and would re-enact the dreadful
scenes of Paris and the commune,
openly defying all just government. |
say, down with the traitors | would
cruelty them upside down and hang
them afterward, in mercv to innocent
women and children, who would be
massacred if the guilty men were to
get into power and allowed their own
way. JUsTCE.

Some Senatorial Peeuliarities.

When Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas, was
in the senate of the United States the door
keeper always provided half n dozen small
sticks of white pine to be placed on his
desk every morning. When the senator
would come in he would first sharpen his
knife on n bone, which he kept in the
drawer OF his desk and then whittle one
of these pieces of pine, sometimes into n
grotesque figure. and then simply cut it
into strips or chips. When one piece was
finished he would take another, and he
generally used five day. Mr.. Reagan
tears up paper from one of the public
documents in his desk, and when he has
several of these he tears them transversely
into small squares, which are scattered all
about him. Then he will brush small
pieces of his lap and take another page,
which in turn win be torn up into litter

Paris Tenement Population.

In Paris the tenement population in
creased from 142 gu persons in 1876 to
243, 564 in 1882. One block, containing
/, 800 persons, has no water supply what
ever. The usual drainage in such build
ings is through chutes leading from differ
ent floors into hogshead in the cellar,
which is emptied as occasion requires.
According to NJ. Naduad, there are 219,
270 houses in France without any windows
whatever, light and air being admitted
through hole in the door, which has to
be stopped in wet or cold weather. In
Paris, although $4,000 tenements have
been dealt with by the authorities under
the act of 1850, there are some 1000 per
sons living in single rooms without means
of warming, and half as many others
occupy rooms with no opening for light
and air Nearly &c, 900 habitations con-
sst OF single room only. This over
crowding is partly the result of the de-
struction of small buildings to make room
for costly apartment houses. A municipal
commission recently appointed in Paris
proposes that cheap tenements should be
built on unoccupied sites belonging to the
city.-New York Journal

A VERY DEADLY NEEDLE.

Hypodermic Injections which Frequently
Cause Death-A Physicians Views
That the drinking and smoking of lau-
danum and opium are not unknown vices
In New York, any physician will affirm
But there is a practice which Is even more
deleterious-the use of the hypodermic syr-
inCe To estimate the growth of this
evil il Is only necessary to take the testi-
mony of druggists and dealers in surgical
instruments. The fact is it has become u
problem with which social reformers must
deal
A reporter talked the other day with a
prominent physician upon this topic.
''Many medical men, " said he, ARE I'M
aware that the use of the hypOdermic syr-
inge Is always attended with danger OF
instant death. The cause of this danger
Is not well understood, but the fatal acct
dents that have been recorded were not
due to the taking of larger doses than
usual by mistake, nor to the cumulative
effects of the drug. Cases have occurred
in which persons have taken large doses
for months without producing a single I'M
pleasant symptom, and have died in a few
minutes from the effects of u quarter OF
the habitual quantity taken in the usual
manner and at the regular hour.
"There is danger Of fatality against
which no vigilance can guard. The symp-
toms are not always so severe as 10 pro
duce coma, unless arrested. They occur
about once in 100 administrations, and
prove fatal at least once in ten. That Is
to say. a man who uses the hypodermic
syringe at the rate of ten punctures day,
which is a very moderate average, should
encounter the symptoms and their at
tendant danger of death once I'm every ter
days on the average, and the probability
is that they will prove fatal within SIX
months after the habit is formed. The
danger that he may be found dead is thu:
always a real one with the habitue of the
hypodermic, a danger that may at any
moment involve a coroner's inquest AMI
the imputation of suicide. New YOrl

Crackle glass is still very fashionable
The cracked appearance is produced by
covering the outside of the glass piece to
be cracked with a stratum of fiux, or
fusile glass, mixed with fragments Of
glass. In this condition il is placed in a
muffie, or open furnace, where it Is
strongly heated As soon as the lux
melts, and the glass itself has become red
hot, il is removed from the furnace and
rapidly cooled. The fiux or fusible glass
under this treatment cracks and splits,
leaving innumerable fine lines Of fracture
all over its surface, having the appear
ance of scales or irregular crystals, which
cross and intersect each other in every
direction, producing striking and beautiful
effects when the light falls upon its sur
